1t was on visit to West st. Panl re
Gently that the writer met that well.
known shipping clerk, A. F. Kanthack
who came to this city nearly quarter
of a century ago, and who for long
time was in the candy mandatory OF
E. S. Berrisford, where the mercury
often found its way up and covered the
figures that told the temperature was
109o Fahrenheit.
During the conversation with Mr..
Kanthack at that time, that gentleman
said:
Its been a matter of more than six
let-up or relief. and all the time getting
steadily worse"
''HOw did it begin?''
''Oh, with colds, l suppose. My work
exposed me good deal, and | soon
found / was catching cold very easy :;
had cough good deal of the time,
with full feeling in my forehead, and
my nose stopped up so that it was hard
to breathe through it,"
You didn't mind that?'
''NO, l didn't pay much attention to it
until found that it was getting a con-
tirmed hold on me. There was con-
slant headache, which made it hard for
me to work, pressure over my eyes
and hot flashes like fever in my head.
Often dizzy spells came over me and |
felt a ringing and buZzing in my ears.
All the time | would be hawking and
hemming and trying to clear my throat.
| had been used to working pretty reg
ularly, and the drowsy, weary feeling
that the disease gave me was unbeara-
ble.'
"What did you do?''
''Oh, tried various kinds of treat
ment, but all to no purpose. The dis
ease kept growing worse every day and
L was acutely suffering from it. My
throat and stomach were constantly irri-
tated by the drOppingS of mucuS; my
stomach got into such condition that 1
didn't relish any kind of food at all. My
voice took on kind of nasal twang; my
breath was bad. The catarrh seemed to
be affecting me all Over-even in my
sight and hearing. 1t showed itself on
my face in very perceptible swelling
above and below my eyes and across the
bridge of my nose. My limbs ached,
my tongue was coated, and when L
would get up in the morning | would
feel weaker and more tired than when l
went to bed at night"
''All from the same cauSe?"
Eyes, think so. But what troubled
me more than anything else was the
sense of weight and oppression on my
chest and the shooting pains, first on
one side and then OH the other, which
would go back under my shoulders,
fairly taking my breath away. | knew
that catarrh sometimes ran into con,
sumption, or something else nearly as
bad, and it worried me great deal"
What course did you take?"
"Well, l read in daily paper an in
terview with somebody whose case
been treated and cured by DR.. McCOy's
his office, No. 10 West Third street. |
found that his charges were moderate
and, although he made no promises, |
made up my mind he could help me-"
did hep
''Indeed, he did! / commenced to i'm
prove from the start, and my improve
ment was marked and steady. My
friends noticed it as well as | did. My
head and throat cleared out, | breathed
easily, my appetite came back to me,
and | ate three hearty meals day. |
began to get sound, refreshing nights of
sleep. The pains in my chest and the
headaches passed away, as did the other
diSagreeable symptoms of my trouble.
| feel well and strong, and am altogether
different man from what | was when |
first went to DR.. McCOy's office"
1t may be well to add that Mr.. A. F.
Kanthack resides at No. Is Louisa street,
West st. Paul, and will cheerfully cor
roborate the above to any having doubts
as to the correctness of the statement.
